Glossy: Nail Polish + Nail Art Inventory Organizer for Android

Let me start by saying the actual gallery and adding the photos and names and collections is great. I have zero complaints on that end. Where I have an issue is the Lookbook. At first I thought, wow this will be a really great way to put designs and colors together all in one place. Until I realized that when you want to add a look to the lookbook, you can’t actually pull from the photos in the app that you’ve already loaded. Instead, the main photo has to be pulled from your camera roll or other album within the phone. Then you can tag the colors used from stuff within the glossy app. I’d love for the lookbook to allow you to actually put color combinations together instead of adding a pic after you’ve done the job. At this point I still have to go out to a collage app to put together colors I want to use on a mani. So I’m back to having multiple apps which defeats the purpose.

Tried to use the app feedback feature, but couldn’t send. Would love to be able to sort alphabetically. Also, if a photo in the look book could be assigned a category. Then you could sort by category. Would be fantastic.

It’s a great app, but nothing can be edited once created. Like, if you create a brand with a misspelling or duplicate a color, it can’t be removed or edited. It would be 5 stars in my book if I could.

Would have been 5 stars if I had the ability to sort my collection alphabetically.

I absolutely love this app, I have over 200 polishes and constantly buy more, this ensures that I don't buy the same color. But figuring out how to back up was a nightmare. First, i'd like to mention that the developer and email associated in the description is no longer valid and the developer is unreachable. And on the app there is a button to click for instructions on how to back it up and the website is no longer valid. I figured out how to do so and wanted to share with whoever needs to backup their app as well. First you will need a computer (i only know Android instructions) Connect your phone and go into "Finder" and click on the phone device and you will see "File" go to that and you will see the Glossy app Side note, you cant see the glossy file on your Android's file app click the down arrow/carrot and wait a bit until a folder appears under the app. The folder will be the last backup. You need to move or copy that folder into a location on the computer (I moved mine to documents) On the new device, download the glossy app and open it, then hook it to the same computer Then repeat the steps Finder>Device>Click the new device>Files Make sure glossy is in the files. Then open another Finder page and on the extra page, go to the location you moved/copied the backup file to. Drag the back up file to the "Glossy" icon name, it may take a while to show it moved over, so only move it once If you keep trying to move it because it looks like it didn't go into the app file, then it'll end up crashing the app With the backup file moved, click the "Restore Backup" on the glossy app on your new device. And the app should repopulate all your data This process is so complicated because Google discontinued the ITunes app, and so you cannot access the file sharing anymore through iTunes. So the instructions on the app are very dated, so here are some 2021 instructions to people who still have or just got the app. I hope this helps!
